Everywhere Virtually

Fixing a bent footpeg – Attempt 1 from everywherevirtually on Vimeo.

My YouTube buddy Svangalie has put together a compilation of his crashes on the ice and snow. It’s handy because I didn’t have a camera with me when I went down so it demonstrates to my friends and family how it can almost be fun.

When people think motorcycle crash they they high speed impact and sudden death. Unfortunately this scenario is reinforced by the summer sports bike riders who only ride for half the year.

Adventure riders fall off regularly if they are trying hard enough but most often they are low speed offs because the terrain is difficult.

They’d probably not be as good as these…

So the videos are fine but everything looks good in the factory. I can tell you that I have had over 5 heavy offs whilst riding the bike off road and in the snow. It has gone down hard and the bars only sustained cosmetic damage. In fact the rear footpeg hanger bent before the crash bars did. In my view these are the best crash bars in the world.

oh yeah… and now for the weaker foot peg hanger…

Well my Moo cards arrived in their fantastically presented box. I also ordered two card holders. One for my web work cards (When I get around to creating them) and the others for my “everywhere virtually” activities.

They arrived in the nick of time from London because by chance I have to travel to… London. So they’ve done a 2000 mile trip in the first 24 hours of their existence.
